FULLERTON, CA, March 20, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The Matador Cantina is set to open its doors to the public in late March, 2009 in the heart of Historic Downtown Fullerton. The Matador's near 4,000 square-foot space, which most recently housed The Rockin Taco Cantina, has been completely transformed. The new look is both upscale and casual, providing an elegant dining atmosphere, while also comfortably inviting.
The menu will feature a fresh fusion of native and contemporary Mexican-inspired cuisines with dinner entrees, including Tres Enchiladas with choice of mole, green or red sauce, blackened Rib-Eye with a chili-cilantro rub, and Shrimp Diablo, served with spicy Tequila lime sauce with mashed Chipotle potatoes. Entrees will be affordably priced from $8 to $18. An Express Lunch menu with traditional favorites will also include items such as Arroz Con Pollo and delicious beef and chicken wraps. The Express Lunch, as well as Curbside Service, will allow guests to dine on the quick and easy during their lunch break or enjoy the convenience of take-out.
While Matador Margaritas and festive Mexican Mojitos will be popular signature drinks, a wine menu comprised of well-known and boutique vintages from Spain, California and South America will provide diners a palate-pleasing alternative. Guests will have the option to dine in cozy leather booths or traditional high-top seating in the main bar/dining area, or more casual dining offered in the lounge with a wraparound leather banquette, lounge tables and cushion ottomans.
In addition to the venue's exposed historic brick structure, hand-made wrought iron chandeliers, an impressive candle-lit wall creates a warm and decidedly intimate ambiance. Original oil-on-canvas paintings and a magnificent iron bullhead statuette further hint to the space's extraordinary decor.The centerpiece attraction is an impressive 50-foot-long bar, paired with hand-made iron, cushioned barstools. Sports fans will pay particular attention to a bank of 50-inch high-definition Plasma TVs, each custom framed within the rich dark woods and intricate details of the massive 14-foot-tall back bar.
"Our goal is to provide Fullerton and the downtown community with a great Mexican dining experience," said second-generation restaurateur and Matador managing partner Mario Marovic. "Everyone loves good Mexican food, but there wasn't a favored destination for it in the area. Now there will be."
The Matador Cantina is located at 111 North Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA. Lunch will be served daily from 11am, 365 days a year. Brunch will be served from 11am Saturday and Sunday. Dinner reservations, as well as private party information prior to opening can be obtained by calling 714.871.8226 or visit http://www.thematador.com for updated info. Photos upon request.
